An injured worker is not entitled to reimbursement for travel-associated toll charges and parking fees in connection with his or her employer-provided medical care, held a Delaware appellate court. The worker had been reimbursed some $761.20 for mileage over a ten-month period under Del. Code Ann. tit. 19, § 2322, but sought an additional $114.75 for tolls and parking expenses. The Court reasoned that the wording of the statute was clear and unambiguous: reimbursement was limited to 40 cents per mile.
